  • Sound transducer for insertion in an ear
    Patent number: 10206045
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sound transducer for producing sound vibrations, which can be inserted in an ear and can be used in particular for an implantable hearing aid. The sound transducer has at least one carrier layer and at least one piezoelectric layer, as a result of which a deflection via a bimorph principle is achieved, or a deflection can be detected by picking up a voltage.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 3, 2016
    Date of Patent: February 12, 2019
    Assignee: Vibrosonic GmbH
    Inventors: Dominik Kaltenbacher, Armin Schäfer, Jonathan Schächtele, Hans Zenner, Erich Goll, Ernst Dahlhoff, Paul Muralt, Janine Conde

  • Nanoparticle-containing irrigation solution for endodontics
    Patent number: 9549878
    Abstract: A set of a first and a second preparation are intended to be mixed before or during an endodontic treatment to form an endodontic irrigation solution. The first preparation includes an oxidizing agent. The second preparation includes antibacterial nanoparticles treated to slow their oxidation by the oxidizing agent. The antibacterial nanoparticles are, for example, encapsulated in shells in a hybrid core-shell structure. In one variation, the antibacterial nanoparticles are made from an alloy of at least two elements, one of the elements being more resistant to oxidation than the other.
